Debating switching string gauge on NX6

Hello all!!

I got a Strandberg Standard NX6 hardtail last year and adore the guitar. I play it all the time. I left it with the stock setup - meaning the 10's, but all of my other guitars are 9's and that's all I've ever played.

I don't have the finger strength to bend those 10's like I do with 9's......do I gamble and get it set up for 9's?

Or maybe a hybrid 9.5.....

Sound off.

Thanks!
